XAUUSD DAILY PLAN UPDATE – MAY 19-20, 2025

425
“We don’t redraw zones. We validate their power.”
Chart: ✅ Full SMC + Imbalance + Macro flow (no guesswork)

📍 STRUCTURE FOLLOW-UP FROM YESTERDAY
Price respected the key mapped zones with surgical precision:

✅ Confirmed reaction from "LTF FVG + Unmitigated OB": Price tapped this zone and has been coiling since, showing hesitation near 3245–3255 supply.

✅ Demand at 3182–3190 (Confirmed demand + liquidity seep) held the entire bullish wave.

❌ No break above 3255 = No RAKET yet. Bulls haven’t pushed through the supply.

So far, structure remains short-term bullish, macro still in correction, premium rejection active.

✅ STILL VALID ZONES FOR MAY 19
🔵 BUY ZONES
3182–3190 = "Confirmed demand + liquidity sweep"
→ 2x successful rejections = highly reactive if retested.
If this breaks = deeper retracement expected.

3120–3140 = “MACRO must-hold demand”
→ Cleanest long-term demand block. If we ever break this, macro flow turns fully bearish.

3060–3085 = “FVG fill + wick rebalancing”
→ Only for deep selloffs. High reward zone.

🔴 SELL ZONES
3248–3255 = “LTF FVG + Unmitigated OB”
→ In-play now. Watch for reaction + breakdown below 3228 = short confirmation.
(Great for intraday NY/Asia reversal plays)

3280–3292 = Internal LH / last supply
→ Valid swing short zone if market expands.

3360–3380 = “Supply + imbalance rejection”
→ Macro invalidation zone if broken.

⚠️ INVALIDATED / USED ZONES
❌ 3221–3228 minor demand → Already wicked through, structure closed above and below.

❌ 3230 OB → No longer fresh. Consolidated, weak edge.

❌ 3235–3240 scalp supply → Broken in Asia session, now used for liquidity inducement.

🔎 PLAN SCENARIOS
🔽 BEARISH:
Rejects again from 3248–3255, breaks 3228, targets 3182, then 3120.

🔼 BULLISH:
Clean break & hold above 3255, continuation toward 3280–3292 next.

💡 FLOW INSIGHT:
"Price has memory. Respect the zones, not the hype."
We are in a premium coil → until 3255 breaks, sellers have the edge.
Until 3182 breaks, bulls still breathe.

🔔 FINAL RAKET NOTE:
All the zones marked yesterday have proven structure today.
We hold them, refine them—not redraw them.

Drop a 🧠 if you still trust your chart.
Drop a 🚀 if you're ready for the next clean leg.

🔄 XAUUSD Sniper Update – May 20, 2025
Status: Price hit key premium zone | Structure Update + What’s Valid
(Timeframes: M5 to H4 | NY Session Flow)

✅ What Was Validated
Price respected the equilibrium + demand zone at 3208–3215 → clean bullish reaction, BOS M15 and CHoCH on M5.

Bullish continuation confirmed from M5 Discount Zone, price swept liquidity before impulsively pushing up.

Premium zone at 3244–3246 (old internal LH and supply + FVG) is now being tested with high momentum → first touch reaction active.

❌ What’s Now Invalidated
The lower buy zone at 3185–3195 is no longer the primary point of interest unless full reversal occurs → currently out of play.

The macro swing FVG 3150–3170 remains untouched but is no longer immediate unless structure breaks back below 3208.

Old LH zone near 3227–3235 has been fully invalidated and mitigated → no longer valid for reentry.

📍 Current Market Behavior
Price is pushing into the H1–H4 supply/FVG confluence zone at 3244–3248, approaching strong high liquidity.

M5 is forming a potential distribution top with small BOS/CHoCH → watch closely for NY reversal signs if rejection follows.

No signs of full reversal yet – liquidity above 3248 is vulnerable; possible final sweep into 3255–3260 zone before deciding.

⚔️ Actionable POIs – What Stands
SELL ZONES (Watch for Reaction):

3244–3248 → internal FVG + supply (currently active)

3255–3260 → weak high sweep + final premium imbalance

3270–3280 → if price breaks above current range with strength (expansion zone)

BUY ZONES (If Rejection Occurs):

3224–3228 → demand + EQ + BOS on M5 (ideal LTF sniper reentry)

3208–3215 → clean OB + M15 BOS origin (proven demand)

3185–3195 → only if HTF flow shifts bearish again

📊 Bias & Flow
Bias: Bullish LTF, Neutral HTF (H1 in mid-shift)

Session Focus: NY may sweep liquidity above 3248 before deciding direction

RSI: Overextended on M15, showing divergence vs price (watch for reversal cue)

📉 GOLD UPDATE – Rejection Starts at the Last Valid Supply Zone (3280–3292)
Price finally tapped into the internal LH and clean last supply zone at 3280–3292 — and the reaction is showing.

This zone was already outlined in our premium plan as a high-probability reversal area, and here’s why this setup deserves attention, especially for swing short bias:

🔍 STRUCTURE & CONTEXT
🟢 Macro bias: Still in correction phase after bullish rally from 3180

🔴 LTF trend: Bearish — internal CHoCHs confirmed, BOS still pending

📊 3280–3292 = Internal LH + LTF FVG + unmitigated OB

🔥 Final premium FVG got filled at 3290

🧲 Weak high (3282) was swept → possible liquidity trap

📉 EMA21 Daily sits exactly at 3290 → strong confluence for rejection

💡 RSI M15–H1 = Overbought (confirmation of exhaustion near premium)

🎯 SHORT SETUP IDEA (Swing Style)
Entry Zone SL TP1 TP2 TP3
3280–3292 3298 3260 3245 3225

Risk note: If price closes H1 above 3295 or prints a clean BOS on H1, this short will be invalidated and flipped into a long continuation bias.

🧭 WHAT TO WATCH
NY session follow-through and rejection candle confirmations

Rejection from EMA21 on Daily holding below 3290

H1 BOS or CHoCH from 3270 to confirm momentum shift

Clean M15 CHoCH = extra confirmation to scale-in

🔚 Final Thoughts
We’re not trying to predict — we’re just reacting to a clean rejection zone with premium confluence. If the swing short plays out, we could see a new move back toward mid-range or even 3220 if NY volume holds.
